Gasperini Takes Charge of Roma Transfers for Targeted Summer Overhaul
The move signals a summer built on a kept core with targeted exits.
Overview
- Football Italia, citing La Gazzetta dello Sport, reports that Gian Piero Gasperini now leads Roma’s transfer decisions and will shape a focused reshuffle.
- Gasperini has said the squad does not need a rebuild and wants upgrades to a solid base, signaling tweaks rather than wholesale change.
- Roma are pushing to keep key pieces, with optimism on a new deal for captain Lorenzo Pellegrini and expectations that Gianluca Mancini and Bryan Cristante will stay, while an option could extend Mario Hermoso.
- Several players are likely to leave, with Stephan El Shaarawy, Kostas Tsimikas and Evan Ferguson listed as expected exits, and Artem Dovbyk viewed as a possible departure, while Angelino, Evan Ndicka and Manu Kone could be sold for budget reasons before June ends.
- Asked about Claudio Ranieri’s exit, Gasperini told DAZN he is focused on the match, and Football Italia notes reports that sporting director Ricky Massara may also go as the Friedkin owners back a structure built around the coach.
